The City Attorney noted for the record that the issue of moratorium on the west side is something considered by the Planning Commission, and at that time they did not know about the particular project on Whittier Avenue, and he indicated that the moratorium itself is designed to allow the status quo in certain zones for certain developments in that entire area, not just that 3.9 -acre parcel.
